Cain Manor - Band or DJ - Noise Limiter

Our friends were due to marry here in March this year.

I know they were planning on having a DJ as they didn't think a band would work well there.

However, our venue also has a noise limiter and I made sure we booked a band that had played there before, to lessen the chances of any issues.

Lucikly i have found an agent that had placed several bands there over time, he is also calling the tech at the venue. Its a tricky one as we really want a band but want the sound to be right! Most venues we looked at seem to have sound limiters so i guess its baout finding teh right band. Who did you go for?

Hello just to add my two pence ?

We have played a no. of venues with limiters and they've never posed us a problem, any drummer worth his salt will be able to play acoustic drums to the room presented before him no problem!

Honest opinion, phone around and find a DJ and band who have played Cain Manor. I've been there when the limiter kicks in.

I've seen limiters in various places set off not by the band or DJ but everyone screaming 'Come on Eileen' or stamping their feet.

I really do recommend asking around, please ensure whoever you speak to is specific about covering Cain Manor. Not just some generic response as noise limiters are individual to each venue and their acoustics.

Try Ian at Disco Fever, he knows a lot of venues this way and will give you an true opinion and I know the band 'The Daggers' have covered Cain Manor too.

Hiya, I can't say anything about Cain Manor I'm afraid, I've never been

Whether it should be Band or DJ... Well, I've seen good and bad of both!

What I'd say is, if you have a wide and varied age range, a really good DJ is probably the way to go. They can carry a huge range of songs, that a band could never hope to achieve ...

However...

There's nothing like a really good band to get the party rocking! But then only if their repertoire is the majority of your guests tastes. If you're inviting mostly friends, and they all have a similar music taste to you, band is the way to go!
